Mila’s POV…

Sharing a room with Zaden on a stormy night was not in any of the scenarios I laid out perfectly in my head. In fact, the entire evening was not the exact turn of events I expected.

“You know among all the things I discovered about you today, the most shocking of them all was finding out you have a pet”.

“We found him when he was a pup in the shelter, his mother's previous owner was abusive, and animal control saved them both. He was so small when we adopted him “.

“During college days, pets weren't allowed in my dorm, that's why I left him here back home, where he would be comfortable, and eventually, when I started ZDN Corp, I couldn't bring him to stay with me because of how busy I got.” I could see the sadness in his eyes as he said it.

Seeing Zaden with his family, I had lots of mixed feelings. My father was always so distant, with only business talks, and we hardly engaged in personal discussions. I was at least close to my stepsister, but even she was now distant.

  • Pregnant For My Dad's Rival    Chapter 34

    Mila's Pov…As my eyelids drifted open slowly, pain coursed through my body as I tried moving.I was in bed naked with Felix beside me, and Eliza was with a camera. I jumped out of bed, covering myself with the comforter.“Relax Mila, nothing has happened,” Felix spoke with a mocking tone.“Yet,” Eliza added with a laugh, still holding her camera looking for a position to set it up.My head was dizzy, making me stagger a bit, "Plea… please… don't.” I was trying to make out my words, but they kept coming out mumbled. Everything in the room looked double.Eliza leaned towards me to stroke my cheeks. “In a couple of minutes, you will be begging Felix to relieve you of the torture your body will give you, so there's no need to fight it.” “Don't… touch me!” I managed to speak, creating distance between us.The whole room felt hot, so I dropped the comforter I wrapped myself in to relieve myself of some heat.“Well, that was fast. I guess I would give you guys some privacy, make sure you

  • Pregnant For My Dad's Rival    Chapter 33

    Mila's Pov…“Come get me, I am in trouble,” I stared at Eliza's text with wide eyes as Zaden drove to the hotel. I tapped my feet nervously against the car floor, "Could you drive a bit faster?”“I am already above the speed limit and you still want me to drive faster.”“Yes.”“Well, I can't do that.”"Why are you always super careful when driving, I don't get it.” Zaden didn't reply; he just stared ahead, focused on the road.I sighed, looking out of the window, and I whispered beneath my breath,” Hold on, Eliza, I am coming.”While growing up, I was the one always looking out for Eliza; she always got into trouble when we were younger, and I was always there to save her. There is no mile I am not willing to go for her.“Wait here,” I said before unlocking the passenger to get out.Zaden held my hand just as I was about to exit the car, “Don't you think it's odd that your sister is reaching out all of a sudden, and it's when she's in trouble?”"Zaden please not now, Eliza won't ask

  • Pregnant For My Dad's Rival    Chapter 32

    Zaden's Pov…Pictures of our engagement party flooded the internet. With different headlines and speculations. There were so many already published online in such a short time, which made me wonder who leaked the news, my wild guess was on Candace.She wasn't even supposed to be at the engagement party in the first place. I was going to deal with that later on. Mila's phone was buzzing too. I watched the pace of the rise and fall of her chest increase as she scrolled through her phone with wide eyes.I quickly shot Alex a text; handle it!My concern wasn't about public opinion but rather for the lady beside me. “What am I going to do Zaden?” She asked with a low tone that could pass as a whisper. Tears had already pooled in her eyes threatening to drop.“If my father finds out about this, he is going to be very mad; he may kick me out of the company completely. I can't afford for this to get to him.” Her voice was shaky.“What if he has already seen this?”She gasped, “Oh my goodn

  • Pregnant For My Dad's Rival    Chapter 31

    Mila's pov..I never questioned Zaden about Candace because, after all, our relationship wasn't real.But with the way she kept meddling in his personal life, it was obvious they had some history together and it was really starting to piss me off with her overstepping. The thought of Zaden's history with Candace or God knows which other person made my stomach churn. I didn’t understand why I was angry, knowing Zaden had been with other people.Get a grip, Mila. Your relationship isn’t real. I had to remind myself as I got dressed.I didn’t wait for Zaden to finish getting ready, I left him in the room to join them for breakfast. I didn’t want to be around him. Mrs Blackwell was already seated at the table with a cup of coffee in her hand. “Good to see Zaden finally let you out of bed. I was starting to think you both were gonna spend all day locked up in the room.” I chuckled lightly with my cheeks blushing lightly pink, I was trying my best to avoid small talk; I wasn’t in the moo

  • Pregnant For My Dad's Rival    Chapter 30

    Zaden's pov…“We can't do this.” Mila broke our kiss, stepping away from me. “What?” I asked my breathing still ragged from our kiss. “You are using this to escape reality. I refuse to be used as a way of mental escape.”“Mental escape?”Yes, you are probably doing this because your grandmother is in the room across from us, to make our relationship believable.” “I am merely following the doctor's orders. I am not using sex as a mental escape. What will I be escaping from?” That was a lie, my emotions got the better of me, making me lose my sense of reasoning. But I wasn't kissing her because I liked her. It was just a mere sexual desire heightened by my emotions.“Doctor’s orders? “Wow, good to know that you at least have the decency not to toy with another person's emotions.” Her sarcastic tone rolled off easily, and I could see the hurt in her eyes. Her words made a jab at my chest causing a dull ache, but the truth wasn't better either way.I played it off with a smirk, wiping

  • Pregnant For My Dad's Rival    Chapter 29

    Mila's POV…Walking into the dimly lit rooftop, my chest tightened, feeling anxious about what Zaden wanted to show me that he couldn't wait for the next day.My eyes fell on the decorated table in the middle, with the moonlight casting a soft glow over the table. I looked over at Zaden, whose face didn't give away any emotion, he just stared at me with his usual blank expression.I was confused as to why he planned this. Just as I was trying to wrap my head around it all. I spotted Antonio behind Zaden.What was he doing here? Isn't he supposed to be in Italy?“Antonio, what are you doing here?” I asked with a smile plastered across my face.Before he could reply Zaden spoke, “I invited him.” I looked from Zaden to Antonio confused as to what was happening. “I know how much you love Italian dishes so I invited him over to prepare some for you.”I tried speaking, but no words came out; my words were caught in my throat. I just stared blankly at Zaden.“He didn't exactly invite me ov
